This 2-hour consultation and thermal imaging survey is for homeowners seeking impartial, in-person guidance on making their home cosy and cheaper to run.
Walk and talk through the energy efficiency and insulation of your home with one of our retrofit experts and ask any retrofit questions at all that crop up.
Together we will use an infrared camera to visually map heat patterns and temperature variations within your home, revealing potential problems like heat loss and moisture issues.
Your conversation and thermographic survey are both recorded, so you can refer back to our suggestions whenever you like.
Thermal imaging is a non-invasive method that helps identify issues before they become major problems and provides a low-cost way to detect heat loss.
Note: Thermal imaging surveys can only be done in winter because the technology requires there to be a sufficient difference between the inside and outside temperature to show areas of heat loss.

Every home improvement project needs a plan.

A Whole House Plan is a tailored report that draws the roadmap for an energy efficient, sustainable, and comfortable home through retrofit.
A survey is carried out by a retrofit assessor who examines your existing building fabric, heating systems, and sources of energy.
Your energy demand and CO2 emissions are calculated, and step-by-step solutions, prices, returns and CO2 savings are detailed for each proposed measure.
The sequencing helps homeowners take the right first step when they cannot undergo a full retrofit at once.
Our proposed measures follow the ‘fabric first’ order which is best practice in retrofit, where maintenance works, improving the energy efficiency of your walls, floors, roof, and the air leakiness of your openings take precedence. We then look at sustainable heating systems and finally, renewables.
Once the report is finalised, a follow-up conversation with the Coordinator ensures you understand the report, and you are confident in the next steps towards a more sustainable home.
